What a cute little nursery for very charming plants! Even without buying anything, it's a joy to walk through the nursery and admire all the flowers and greenery and enjoy a nice day outdoors. It's located off of Highway 92, and it can be a bit tight with parking. Recommend for plant lovers!

I'm so grateful for my friend who took me to this wonderful nursery, which I may have never discovered otherwise. There are several in a row on the way to HMB and this is one of them. The prices are so reasonable, staff is helpful and friendly and the plants are beautiful. I wasn't planning on getting *another* plant, but then I fell in love with a $7 philodendron. Even the beautiful pots are well priced! This is a one stop shop for all gardening and plant needs. It's a fun place to just walk around and browse too.

Okay, at the risk of alerting everyone to what I feel is one of the Bay Area's best kept secrets, here is my review of Half Moon Bay Nursery! We come here every year for what my husband calls my "birthday shopping spree." We bring the big car, and he does extra push ups to make sure his arms are prepared to push a giant flatbed cart up and down the gravelly rows. We also make sure we are dressed for the cold, as it can get unexpectedly drizzly, windy, and chilly in Half Moon Bay regardless of the season! The staff here are AMAZING. Many of them still wear masks during the flu season, which we really appreciate. The watering staff are always calling out friendly "hellos" as you enter, you will be greeted by beautiful opera music playing over the speakers, and the grounds are littered with gorgeous hummingbirds who follow you around as if to say, "Welcome to our magical home!" For those interested in "just the facts," the nursery is always well stocked with healthy plants, they have an indoor plant greenhouse, potting and gardening supplies, fertilizers, and the most glorious hanging baskets. To top it all off, the prices are absurdly reasonable, and you can drive to beach afterwards! What a paradise!

This is the place to go for plant lovers. They have lots of varieties of plants in a range of price points. There's something for everyone here. The nursery is off of hwy 92 and it's a pretty sharp turn into the parking lot so pay attention as you get closer to the area. I would suggest coming early because the parking lot is on the smaller side. I recently came on a weekend an hour after opening. By the time I left, I could see the traffic of cars coming up hwy 92. It can be overwhelming coming here because there are just so many different varieties of plants... trees, flowers, vegetables, citrus trees, bonsai, succulents, cactus, etc. In addition to plants, they have everything else you might need to keep your plants alive... pots, tools, plant food, books, etc. When checking out, our kids each received a few pumpkin plant. Wish us luck. Maybe we won't need to buy pumpkins come October. P.s. Be sure to wear old shoes because some paths are dusty/muddy.

There are several nurseries in this area, but this was the best we've found. Excellent selection, beautifully arranged, and everything is easy to find. The staff were helpful and friendly. You can ask for help, but I also enjoyed just wandering and seeing what there was to discover. Did anyone else notice, that under many of the flower beds are mossy green brickwork and mini plants? It is so beautiful, and it is clear that the owners and workers really care about this place. The world needs more of Half Moon Bay Nursery.

IMHO In all the years I've been coming to Half Moon Bay, I've never visited this beautiful nursery on Hwy. 92. Finally, on our way home, we stopped in! What a lovely, welcoming place! So colorful, a wide variety of plants, flowers, trees, etc., and some cool nursery cats! I left with a collection of succulents, an air plant, and a small variety of round plastic water pot trays. Will I be back? You bet!

I absolutely love this nursery. There are so many varieties of house plants, fruit trees, flowers, cacti and succulents to choose from. I can spend all day here. The staff here are friendly. To top it off, there are two beautiful cats just chilling!

My mother when she first came to the United States years ago worked at a nursery here in Half Moon Bay. My father met my mom here and bought her flowers daily. He eventually walked into the nursery and told the manager at the time that my mother would be resigning as she is now moving to San Jose with him (which was also news to my mother). He swopped her away and that was that. Now, over 35 years later, I am married and my wife talks to my mother about stories like this. My mom raves about the beautiful flowers they have all throughout Half Moon Bay. For Valentines Day, I took my wife here. We came here not only to get her flowers, but to also get my mother some as well as she is my Forever Valentine. The nursery is massive and has everything from succulents, to trees, bamboo, flowers, herbs, EVERYTHING! The prices are incredibly affordable. Just walking around, you can spend hours looking at all the beautifully grown plants. The people that work here are also very friendly. Overall; I highly recommend this nursery. They have everything at reasonable prices. Support local!

See all

Customer service is abysmal. They charged us a 3 gallon price for a 1 gallon. Will never return.
